Robbing Ultimate Fighting Expert Proves To Be Bad Decision
December 5, 2011 12:22 PM


CHICAGO (CBS) — Robbing a man who turned out to be an ultimate fighter proved to be a bad decision for a convicted felon, who is now in bad shape as he is held on bond.

Police say around 11:30 p.m. Friday, Anthony Miranda, 24, walked up to a car parked at 55th Street and Kenneth Avenue, just a few blocks from Midway International Airport.

Miranda asked the driver for a lighter, and the driver said he didn’t have one. Then Miranda pulled a handgun and demanded that the driver hand over his money, police said.

Even after the driver complied and gave up some money, Miranda ordered him out of his car, police said.

At some point, Miranda’s attention was diverted and the victim was able to grab control of the gun and the two wrestled.

During the fight, Miranda accidentally discharged his own gun, shooting himself in the ankle, police said.

The victim — who told police he is a martial arts expert and ultimate fighter — was able to pin Miranda down until police arrived.

Police arrived to find Miranda with a face full of lacerations and two black eyes. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment, police said.

Miranda, a convicted felon, is charged with armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony.

He was ordered held on $350,000 bond Sunday, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s office.

Records show he has several convictions, including at least one for a residential burglary.

I love to hear about someone getting their just reward.

 

The bad guy was probably happy to see the cops show up on this one..

 

that´ll teach him, for a while at least.....

Slev

 

I know of a big guy that tried to muscle a Viet Nam era Green Beret.......he ended up with a compound fracture of the leg, and an ambulance ride with a nice Police escort.

 

Are you referring to Lary and Scotty? NOW it all makes sense! Lary fits the description of a Green Beret and Scotty is a big guy that's always screaming "Look at my legg!"

 

read the posts on the story, interesting reading.

chicago has very restrictive gun laws, now expanding into the suburbs- which is actual business/airports/malls area of real people.

bad guys are there all the time....no cops.

glad this one got that prized-I-am-a-tough-guy scars on his face. and a new fear of his next victim, lol.

 

The Peoples Republic of Chicago and Illinios have very strict gun laws! You can't even buy ammo there unless you have a special card issued to you showing that you are a firearms owner. Can't even carry a handgun legally there either.

 

Anyone know how the individual states are able to supersede the 2nd amendment and require permitting for any firearm? I think of that every time I hear about the permitting process but have never asked.

 

Interestingly, Tony was my CCL instructor. I'm sure he was carrying. However, he just kicked the guys butt and only after being assaulted first.

 

Reminds me of this one
